Blaze Union and the Puddin' Head Schools

Welcome to brainwashed Island Nation, where the tiny-handed "supreme" prime minister has convinced the country to treat those with "large" hands as second-class citizens and turned schools into battlegrounds between the Puddin’ Heads and Sweeties. Amidst this turmoil, hope emerges in the form of a teen on a mission to lead the nation’s increasingly dysfunctional schools. Narrated by a sarcastic teacher suspended for inspiring students, this 2023 Mark Twain Book Award finalist is the “gloriously absurd” adventure (Kirkus Reviews) of Blaze Union, a fiery teen rock star and soccer phenom. Despite her slightly above-average hand size, Blaze swiftly rises in popularity, much to the chagrin of powerful knuckleheads.

Dive into a world of social absurdities and laugh-out-loud moments in this sharp, satirical romp through the madness of a polarized nation led by of delusional leaders who dismissed the wrong teen. Catapult into an epic journey of whackadoodle schools, sensational showdowns, and a quest for liberation like no other. And don't forget your spoon helmet—you’re going to need it.
